" his positive engagement of the pawl with 0 the tooth ofthe registering Wheel, :also prevents any possibility of the pawl dropping out of engagement with said tooth in ease the drawer should be psrtially'olosecl and afterwards bv any means again returned 110 to the open position,

As-in my said former applications, '1 pro vitle o drawer latcli'ov catch be}: 30 at one side of the machine frame, the forward hook emi of which 310i the drawer v: ud lock the same in a closed positiomand the rear end of which is fulerumetllo,the rear portionof the-frame at lhis's latcli bar is provided in its for-.

latter being moved to the open position through the pressure of the lever 14 or other additional means. This swinging movement of the lever 36 is imparted by depressing a sliding drawer releasing key 38 which is mounted in ai frame bracket 39, the inner end of said key stem contacting with the forward arm of the represents a leverwhich is fulcrumed on the outer end of the shaft 4: on that side of the machine on which is employed. the catch bar 30. The lower hrm or that portion of the lever 4-0 which is below its fulcrum point has attached thereto and mounted to slide vertically on its outer face a bar ll, the latter being capable of having iniparted thereto a sliding movement on the arm 40 by reason of the attaching pins or screws l2 passing through slotted openings 43 which are formed. in said bar {LL The lower-end of the bar 41 as indicated more clearly in Fig. 5 of the drawing, normally engages a notch in the upper side of a lolcclr which is secured to or formed with the outer side of the lower framework. This lower portion of the bar ll is provided as indicated at 16 with an. inwardly projecting pin, the latter engaging a slotted opening 4-? in a lifting bar 48, the rear end of which is pivotedjto the rear portion of the frame piece 34. This lifting bar 48 is provided with an inwardly projecting pin as which projects over the frame piece 34 and which is adapted to contract and 'be lifted by the rear arm of the lever 36 when the liey 38 is depressed, thereby exerting tl'i'rough the elevation of the bar it a lifting movement of the catch arm and a disengagement of the latch arm 30 with the drawer, allowing the latter to move outward to the open position by pressure of the lever 14:. The upper end of the vertically sliding bar 41 is pro- 'vided with an inclined extension 41 as shown i in Fig. 5 of the drawing. The upper portion or the lever 40 or t portion which is above its fulcrum point is provided with an outwardly projecting; pin while the upper extren'iity oi" said lever 40 jointly connected at 51 with :1 depending arm 52 which is tired on the outer end of the shaft 22.

illounted to swing-z on the end portions of the shalt 4 are the side arms of an external yoke 53, the latter being; suitably we ghted as indicated at 54:. The .rcar bar of this wcirjhlcd yoke normally 1 otthc lever 14-. Pivoted to one oi the outer (nos ot the yoke-53 is a spring" actuated catch the latter hciug; shown in detail in Fig. 6 ot the drawing. This spring actuated hook is adapted when the drawer is opened and theyoho swings downward to engage the top .xtension t]? of the hat tl.

iears upon the-head and remain in engagement therewith until the drawer is partially closed.

56 represents a bell crank lever which is tulcrumed to the end. frame or the machine in its uppor portion, the upper frame or said hell crank having a shoulder in its upper side and outer end portion as indicated at 56 and the lower end of the lower or rear arm of said hell crank being through the medium of a spring 57 retained in contact with the upper side of theyolte 53 when the drawer is closed and said yoke is in its ele vated position. The parts being in this position, the reduced outer end portion of the upper arm o1 the lever 56, by which reduc tion the shoulder 56 is cleared, is immediately below and out of contact with the pin 50. in the first operation of opening the drawer, which consists as hereinhefore descrihed, in depressing the key 38., the rear arm of the lever 36 exerts a lifting action on the inwardly projecting pin 49 ot the bar 48 and througi the connection of the latter with the bar 4-1, said bar il is raised vertically out of the notch of the block 45. This being accomplished, the bar 41 and lower portion or the arm to is swung to a forward position through the tension of a spring 59 which exerts a rearward pressure on the upper, portion of said lever 40. In this manner it will be seen that the depression of the drawer releasing key causes a sufficient rearward swin 'ing movement of the upper portion of the lever 40 to impart a partial rotation to the shaft 22 and a consequent release of the pawls 21 from the indicator wheel ratchets 2. The release key having been depressed. as hereinbefore described, it is obvious that. the upper portion of the lever 40 will have moved sufliciently toward the rear to bring' the pin in position for engagement with the upper side of the lever 56 in rear of its offset 5G and as the drawer moves to the open position and the yoke 53 descends, it is obvious that the spring 5? will serve to lift the upper arm of the hell crank 56 into engagement or contact with said pin 50. In the beginning: of the drawer closing movement, 5 it is evident that the upward movement of the weighted yolre 53 must through the engagement. of its hook with the exten ion 41" of the bar l-l, result in said har ll and lower portion of the lever 41 0 being forced rearward until the lower end of said bar 41 drops into engagement with the notch of the bar 45. It will also be seen that the n ovei'nent thus imparted to the lever 40 has resulted in the pin 50 dropping into engagement with the shoulder 56 of the bell crank 56, which engagement will con tinue until the weighted yoke has by contact eerrespending distance. it, tie presses the reieeee key t inch whee same bed peraiaiiy e-peneci and.

the numeral five thereon, is in position to receive the upward blow of'the platen. frame. head when the latter is released manner hereinafter described. The descent of the outer weighted yoke 53 and the consequent downward and forward movement of the arm 130 results through the engagement of the rack portion of said arm. with the teeth of the pinion 9a. in imparting a rotary movement to the latter, this movement, however, not being contributed to the drum 91 owing to the fact that the inclination of the ratchet teeth of the clutch heads 96 and 97, is such as to prevent such rotary motion being contributed to the inner clutch head on the downward movement of said gear seg' ment. The continued downward movement ofthe arm 130 and its finger ltii'results in the contact of the lug with the out wardl v projecting pin 86 of the catch piece 84:, this contact resulting in said pin 86 and the catch piece 8% being; tweed inward and the inward movement resulting through the contact of the inclined or toothed terminationsof the horizontal arm cit said catch-piece and the bar 83, in'the latter being raised until its tooth drops over and into engagement w iththe tooth of said catch piece.

This upward movement of said arm 130 also re leases the pin 86 and allows the latter to again move outward and the catch piece 8 to as sume its normal position. The closing movement of the drawer and consequent upward movement of the arm 130, also results in a rotation of the pinion 94 which through the shaft 93.. imparts a rotary ,motion to the drum 91 and gear wheel 99 which motion is contributed through the engagement of the gear wheel 115 with said wheei 99 to the feed roller 11%, the co-acting or contacting surfaces of the drum 91 and roller 1114 serving to feed the paper strip inward through the sheath 118 to a printing position. It will he observed that in this rotary movement or feeding action. of the drum and feed roller, the type faces 102 which are flush with the surfaces of the raised flange portions 101 which contact with the paper strip, will operate to print upon'said paper strip daring its passage between said raised or flanged portions, said. type races having been. previously inked with jonrnaied ink roller 12.
